The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth

This thing is pretty amazing.  Watch this robot go up hills, over uneven surfaces, balance on ice, resist getting kicked over, jump, and more.  There are parts of the video where the audio is really annoying, but keep watching, perhaps on mute ;-)

    Didn't believe my eyes at first. Amazing indeed.

    (And the Youtube clip that takes the micky out of this thing as good, too!)

    I saw this a while ago on Gizmodo or Ars Technica. The part where the robot is on ice and someone kicks it, then it slips and catches its footing, is pretty freaky. They just need to cut the noise level by about 100 decibels and it'll be ready for production.
